Draglam Salt

DID YOU KNOW? 1 Tonne Of Salt Can Service 10KM Of A Single-Lane Road! (depending on conditions) #DraglamSalt

By improving performance at lower application rates, the experiments demonstrated a way to balance safety, efficiency, and environmental awareness long before treated salts became standard.

Urban winter conditions pushed innovation forward in the 1960s. In Montreal, municipal engineers working alongside Canadian researchers, These early trials showed that organic additives helped salt adhere better to surfaces and remain effective longer under traffic. (See Below)

A landmark winter safety study from the Uni of Waterloo examined six winter seasons of crash data across Ontario. Improving road surface condition with deicing salt reduced collisions by up to 93 percent on roads and boosted surface friction in ways that lowered crash risk.

Salt has been more than a winter tool. Researchers have treated ice and cold weather conditions like a laboratory, experiments on how salt melts ice at different temperatures, how brine spreads, and how combinations like salt and sand improve traction in real conditions.

Salt works faster and more efficiently when it’s mixed with a little sand or grit. This combination allows trucks to spread the material evenly across surfaces, ensuring that every application covers more ground and works harder to manage ice and snow. #Salt #SandSalt

@LessMessSoil Bahaha so true!

Your garden is thriving, your neighbour is asking for tips… and all you can think is, 'Many plants, many questions.' #GardenFlex #SoilGoals #NeighbourApproved #PlantLife

Salt isn’t just for roads, it’s also used to create high-quality ice for hockey. When Zambonis resurface arenas, small amounts of salt are sometimes added to the water. Salt lowers the freezing point, helping new ice layers freeze evenly and adhere smoothly to the rink surface.

Salt isn’t just for roads, it’s a key tool in creating the perfect ice for winter sports. At ski resorts, small amounts of sodium chloride are used during artificial snowmaking, the salt helps lower the freezing point of water! #TheMoreYouKnow #Science

@BrockAggregates 👏👏

Not all stones behave the same when it comes to building strong, long-lasting surfaces. Crushed stone, with its angular edges, naturally locks together when compacted, creating a dense, stable foundation. #TheMoreYouKnow #Aggregates

Canada began experimenting with road salt for de-icing in the late 1940s, following successful trials in the United States. Early tests showed that salt could effectively reduce ice on winter surfaces, making work sites and projects safer and more manageable. #RoadSafety

@LessMessSoil Hahaha!

Me holding all the extra cash I saved by choosing Less Mess... finally, my wallet is as happy as my garden. #LessMessSavings #GardenSmart #SoilMatters #HappyWallet

@juelgroup Matt Byers is great!

@LessMessSoil Love this series!

Gardening series Part Two! Matt takes the planter from soil to life by planting kale. He demonstrates how to measure the correct depth for each plant, explains spacing for healthy growth, and highlights the importance of sunlight and proper watering. #Planting #Kale #Soil

@BrockAggregates Wow, Great!

Clean gravel products like 3/8 inch pea gravel and HL6 gravel are designed for applications where drainage and consistency are critical. Washed to remove fines, these materials help prevent water buildup and reduce shifting over time. #Aggregates #GravelProducts #Utility

@juelgroup amazing work
